Queer Rites of Passage in Magickal Practice

Join UUCSH's River's Edge Circle members on Wednesday, July 30 at 6:30 pm, in person at UUCSH.

Queer people undergo many unique rites of passage in our journeys to become our authentic selves, from coming out to taking our first dose of hormones to celebrating chosen family. How can we honor these important milestones with a magickal ritual in a way that’s personal, profound, powerful, and affirming?
In this workshop led by speaker Major Arqueerna, we’ll look at techniques and ideas for potent rite of passage rituals for a wide variety of queer magickal practitioners, and end with a guided meditation for participants to find more ideas to craft their own rituals.

Major Arqueena is also known as Enfys J. Book (they/them), is the author of Queer Rites: A Magickal Grimoire to Honor Your Milestones with Pride (Llewellyn, 2025) as well as the Gold COVR award-winning Queer Qabala, and co-author (with Ivo Dominguez, Jr.) of Sagittarius Witch. They are also the creator of majorarqueerna.com, a website devoted to queer magickal practice, and host a podcast called “4 Quick Q’s: Book Talk with Enfys,” where they interview pagan authors using questions determined by a roll of the dice.

There is a suggested donation of $10 for this event; half for our speaker and half for River's Edge Circle.
